Description of problem:
Current entities must be repetitively entered by authors/editors,
inducing usage skew. (Yes, I just made that term up. Sorry, it's early.)
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
N/A
Actual results:
Authors/editors must enter their own entities manually. Mistakes
abound, and everyone uses different entities.
Expected results:
Standard entities for the most common terms, such as Fedora, Fedora
Project, Fedora Core, Fedora Documentation Project, et al.
Additional info:
Karsten Wade introduced the attached entities file to the
fedora-docs-list. See
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-docs-list/2004-July/msg00046.html
for more information.

Created attachment 102562[details]
Fedora standard entities source, should be in common/
All tutorials, whether book or article, should now reference this source
document with the following XML code:
<!ENTITY % FEDORA-ENTITIES-EN SYSTEM "../common/fedora-entities-en.xml">
%FEDORA-ENTITIES-EN;
Get this into CVS please!

We should also add an entity for Bugzilla under an appropriate
section. I think "Fedora common entities" is where this should go, but
I could also see it under "other common names" if there's an objection.
<!ENTITY BZ "Bugzilla"> <!-- Bugzilla -->
<!ENTITY BZ-URL "<ulink
url='http://bugzilla.redhat.com/'>http://bugzilla.redhat.com/</ulink>">
<!-- Bugzilla URL -->

Tammy,
I reopened the bug just to get your attentions for comment #2 above. I
think the BZ* entities are probably very useful as well. My
updfstab-tutorial references Bugzilla a couple times to remind users
that if they find unknown usb-storage devices, adding the information
to Bugzilla might help them find their way into the next release. I'll
bet other docs writers reference Bugzilla also. Is this sensible?
